Apply AI-enabled capabilities to improve data quality monitoring, issue detection, root-cause analysis, remediation, and prevention within secure and regulated environments.
Define and maintain policies, standards, and guidelines that promote consistent adoption of data management methods, tools, and automation across user groups. Organization and Talent Leadership
Build, lead, and develop a high-performing, global, multidisciplinary organization with the capabilities and capacity required to deliver the product line strategy.
Establish clear accountabilities across product teams and squads, coach and mentor leaders and team members, and develop succession and capability-building plans.
Lead organizational change and adoption to embed common data management practices, standards, and ways of working. Business Value, Partnerships, and Financial Accountability
Build trusted partnerships with business, digital, technology, and enterprise leaders to align priorities, resolve cross-functional dependencies, and drive adoption of common data management capabilities.
Own value realization and financial performance for the product line, including budget, investment planning, total cost of ownership, vendor and contract management, benefits tracking, and OKRs.
Establish and manage the resource model required to support master data management across divisional platforms and business processes. Align systems development structures, platforms, methods, and tools with business strategy, regulatory expectations, and emerging digital opportunities.

Demonstrated leadership of enterprise data products, platforms, and services across their full lifecycle, from strategy and design through implementation, adoption, sustainment, and value realization.
Strong knowledge of manufacturing-related master and reference data, Product Lifecycle Management, data platforms, and the needs of Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain.
Proven experience with business domain applications such as MES, LIMS, Veeva Quality, Supply Planning, ERP, PLM, etc.
Experience leading a sizable, multidisciplinary organization, including organizational design, talent development, coaching, succession planning, and capability building.
Demonstrated accountability for significant budgets, investment portfolios, financial planning, vendor performance, and total cost of ownership.
Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders, align organizations on complex technical and business decisions, resolve cross-functional dependencies, and drive accountability.
Experience leading enterprise transformation and adoption in a global, matrixed environment.
Experience with Agile and Scrum delivery models, product management, and product owner responsibilities.
